He added: “She blew me away. I had never experienced something so enchanting on stage and then so real and so beautiful in real life.”
Travis later accompanied Swift on her travels for her international tour dates, giving the pair a chance to spend time together when she wasn’t performing.

It’s coming soon,'” Swift recalled. “We got to travel around the world and have vacations and adventures when I wasn’t on stage, which was really fun because Europe was so much fun, Australia is great. It was great.”
